Chapter 866: Each to Their Own

The Immortal Court has flown away; there’s no reason to stay.

The Divine Void Immortal Dynasty’s army has withdrawn.

Though the Golden Court’s small state has been pacified, the cultivation world has quietly erupted into a great upheaval.

The Immortal Court truly exists.

This alone is enough to drive every Dao Lord in the cultivation world mad, sparking a new surge of searches for immortals—entering the Five Elements doesn’t mean you can’t find them; if fortune favors you, it could be the ultimate blessing of ascending to immortality.

Aside from the Immortal Court.

Another matter from this battle also shocked the cultivators of the Fourteen States.

That was True Lord Changqing, Li Rui.

On that day.

Two Body Integration peak True Lords from Wan Fadian and the Divine Void Immortal Dynasty launched a surprise attack on Yunze City, only to end up one dead and one severely wounded.

That’s incredibly powerful.

Body Integration peak—that’s nearly the strongest tier outside Dao Lords; as long as a Dao Lord doesn’t intervene, they’re nearly immortal.

Yet Li Rui faced two Body Integration peak Dao Lords and killed one.

It’s simply horrifying.

The power of dual certification is this terrifying!

The changes were even more evident on the Heavenly Record.

Li Rui’s name shot straight into the top ten of the Heavenly Record, standing alongside those ancient monsters who had formed the Ruoshui Wheel.

Seeing this ranking, some enthusiasts immediately hailed Li Rui as the most astonishing cultivator in the past three thousand years.

Li Rui’s name shook the Fourteen States.

【Congratulations, host, you have completed the Immortal List storyline—Top Ten of the Heavenly Record】

【Since the moment you began cultivation, you knew you would become number one on the Immortal List; all prodigies would pale before you. This year, you entered the Heavenly Record’s top ten, beginning your path of invincibility. Continue your efforts, host!】

【Completing task: Top Ten of the Heavenly Record. Reward calculation in progress.】

【Task rating: B.】

【Obtained 30 Achievement Points!】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Achievements: 50/100】

Li Rui, who was in seclusion, gazed at the small characters appearing before him.

The Heavenly Record’s rankings had shifted, and he had thus gained Achievement Points.

Three days had passed since that battle.

Clearly.

The Heavenly Mechanism Dao Lord had pondered long and hard to place him in the top ten.

After all, the Heavenly Record’s top ten concerned immense destiny.

Those who made the list were all ancient monsters with deep seniority.

Fortunately, he was the reincarnation of the Four Directions Dao Lord.

The Four Directions Dao Lord was once among the top three cultivators in the cultivation world; with such a feat preceding him, it wasn’t too shocking.

“If I could reach number one on the Heavenly Record, the reward should be excellent.”

Li Rui thought, then stopped paying attention to the Heavenly Record.

The Heavenly Record’s blessings are the fruit, a powerful side benefit; thinking too much about them is useless.

“True Lord Feiyu sent word that he found a lead on a Zhengyang-affiliated suppressive artifact out at sea and has left Baiyu Jing for the distant seas.”

Li Rui turned his thoughts to suppressive artifacts.

True Lord Feiyu had gone to great lengths to help him attain Dao.

He had even personally searched for a Dao Lord-level suppressive artifact for him.

His 【Eternal Court】 is too unique.

Ordinary suppressive artifacts cannot suppress it at all; previously, he relied on the ten thousand suppressive artifacts left behind by Baiyu Jing to plant the Dao seed, but advancing further to form a Dao fruit would be far more difficult—after all, whether such a Dao Lord-level suppressive artifact even exists in the world is uncertain.

At least Li Rui had never heard of one, nor had he seen it recorded in any ancient texts.

Therefore, attaining Dao through 【True Martial Arrival】 is a good choice.

After becoming a Dao Lord, he could then seek dual certification like Dual-Complete Dao Lord.

He is not a greedy man.

He accumulates foundations because his resources are thin; otherwise, who wouldn’t want to follow the path of top-tier immortal sects and dynasties, simply focusing on breaking through realms?
